A well-engineered two-
bolt anchor consisting
of ⁄8-inch-diameter
3
Powers Power Bolts,
Metolius stainless steel
hangers, steel quick
links, and steel rings.

While it shows some
signs of corrosion, this
old anchor is still good
to go after many years
of service at the top of
a popular rock climb at
Joshua Tree, California.
The bolts are ⁄8-inch
3
Powers expansion bolts,
with stainless steel
SMC hangers (the good
variety) rigged with
steel quick links and
steel chain links.
